A dancer performs a Reog dance mask during a protest outside Malaysia's embassy in Jakarta, 29 November 2007. Hundreds of Indonesian dancers of Reog Ponorogo held a theatrical protest following the Malaysian government's claim that the Reog was a traditional dance belonging to Malaysia. The reog mask dance, which is said to have been created by one of the kings of Kediri in the 12th century, re-enacts a legendary battle between Pujangga Anom, a minister from the court of Ponorogo, and Singa Barong, guardian spirit of the forest of Lodoyo.
